Seattle: A Metropolis of Learning

Seattle was founded in 1851. The settlers originally called it New York, which evolved into New York-Alki (this ending means "by-and-by" in Chinook). After moving to what's now called Pioneer Square, they renamed the city Seattle after Duwamish Indian leader – Sealth. Because of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, the city's population grew by 1,000 new citizens each month by the 1880's. With the discovery of gold in 1897, Seattle became a boom town and continued its growth. During World War I, twenty percent of the nation's wartime ships were created here. The Depression hit Seattle particularly hard, but when Boeing Company increased its workload by 1,200% during World War II, Seattle grew. However, in post-wartime Seattle, there was a short economic slump. When the World's Fair was held there in 1962, things brightened for the city. With the twenty-first century, the city continues to steadily grow. With nearly 150,000 school-aged people, there is a considerable need for academic positions to be filled. On Simply Hired, there are 1,681 teaching and tutoring jobs within Seattle and over 3,000 outside of the city, as of November 10, 2011.

Teaching Jobs in Seattle

This metropolis is home to a plethora of teaching opportunities. No matter what you're interest is there's a place to teach. If acting is your forte, you could work at Unexpected Productions, Seattle Children's Theatre, and Taproot Theatre. Perhaps Bollywood dancing is more your specialty and you'd love to teach it. Bollywood Dance with Mollie is the leading school of this style, but there are other schools in Seattle that focus on this genre. If you're a glass artist and glassmaker, maybe you'd like to share your skills at Pilchuck Glass School. Last, if academic teaching interests you, there is always the University of Washington.
